Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel or aluminum-specific fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term joint integrity.
Inadequate surface preparation before bonding or coating, compromising adhesion.Thoroughly clean and degrease the aluminum surface, followed by appropriate etching or anodizing processes for optimal surface adhesion.
